I was in her class back in 2010-2011. As long as you put in the work and time, you'll do well. For Advanced English, which was called Challenged Integrated Language Arts (CILA) at the time, we had to do what was called a Zine, which was basically a sort of analysis/summary of a book we read and it had to be a different genre each semester. It took time, but it was innovative.

I was in her class in 7th grade 2010-2011. Best English teacher I had to date. She didn't mind a few tangents, told us little anecdotes from her life, and I remember she cared a lot about her students. She also had ferret posters in the classroom and claimed she was dating Edgar Allen Poe. I'm really hoping she's still there and hasn't changed her attitude about life. Overall if you end up getting her as a teacher, as long as you're kind and attentive, you're gonna have a great time in that course.
